  • Very easy, and tasted great with a tweak or two. I thought one cup of oil was way too much, so I reduced it to about a third of a cup. I also added garlic, because I love garlic with anything herby like this. With those tweaks, I thought it was fantastic. Really good with the grilled flatbread recipe from this site.

  • This turned out rather bland and runny for my tastes. I thought it would be spicier and more like pesto. The second time I made it I doubled the ginger, added Sriracha, garlic and lime juice, and blended it with half an avocado. Much better! If you're looking for something closer to the consistency of pesto, I'd recommend decreasing the amount of oil by half. I would make it again with with these changes. The accompanying flatbread recipe is fantastic.
